Chapter 7 the mountains and the sea
Disclaimer: I do not own Zatch Bell; if I did it would still be on television
The twins were living in the woods for a few months now, and would occasionally wander outside of the wood to go and explore the outside world. They would have to hide from the royal guards if they wandered into a city, then the two would just teleport back into the safety of their hut in the woods.
"Come on Zatch or I'm going to leave you behind" Zeno stated ready to go hiking in the mountains.
"Wait for me you usually don't get up this early" Zatch said putting on a pack full of supplies then running after his brother. The sun was just about to rise; the twins usually woke up two hours later so this is what shocked Zatch so much.
"We're going to the mountains to go hiking" Zeno stated, while making his way out of the woods,
"Unu sounds fun" Zatch shouted then followed Zeno.
Meanwhile in the mountains in a village a rampage was going on. "Damn it Rein is on a rampage again" one adult shouted out and trying to stop Rein.
"It's no good he's too strong" another mamodo cried out.
"Release me" a smaller mamodo shouted out, and then he got his wish as Rein threw him into the ground.
"Everyone gather and corner him" one of the royal guards shouted. The villagers did what they were told and were able to corner Rein. "Now attack" the royal guard shouted and the villagers kept attacking until Rein fell off the cliff.
"Ouch" Zeno tripped and fell
"You ok Zeno" Zatch ran to Zeno
"Yea this spiky ground is such a bothersome" Zeno got up and brushed himself off.
"Ok I'll go up ahead" Zatch said then ran off around the corner of the cliff
"Zatch don't go off to far" Zeno shouted then treated to slight injury to his knee.
When Zatch turned around the corner he saw a fairly large creature lying on the ground covered in blood. "Unuu mister, are you ok?" Zatch asked the mamodo which seemed to be shocked by his arrival. "Hurry up and give me your hand" Zatch shouted running toward the mamodo
"S-shut up" Rein said trying to get up. "Hey you! Do you know who I am!" Rein shouted at Zatch, Zeno heard the noise and came running. "Anyone who underestimates me ends up on the end of these claws" Rein shouted then swung at Zatch who just dodge it with ease. "Don't act like you care, little brat" Rein said to Zatch who was still walking his way up to Rein. "You Better get out of here or" Rein then coughed up blood. "I'll tear you limb from limb" Rein shouted standing up as much as he could, Zatch didn't back down one bit.
"Like I would let you" Zeno said running up to Zatch. "Zak" Zeno was interrupted by Zatch smacking his hand down.
"There is no need for that Zeno" Zatch responded then went closer to Rein.
"Go away" Rein shouted.
"What are you saying, you're the one torn apart aren't you" Zatch shouted. "Now give me your hand already you're gonna die" Zatch shouted once more which seemed to calm Rein down.
"Well should we go back to our hut Zatch" Zeno said putting his hand on Zatch's shoulder.
"Unu please Zeno" Zatch said going to Rein.
"Fine" Zeno said, then went to the both of them in which his cloak covered the both of them, and then he teleported them to the hut.
Zatch then used his cloak to pick Rein up and then put him in the hut gently where Zatch got the herbs they gathered in the forest to act like bandages.
"Zatch why put him there, where are we gonna sleep" Zeno asked his brother going into the hut which barely fit Rein.
"Can you get me some hot water Zeno" Zatch asked still putting whatever they had as bandages.
"Just don't use the blankets we need those" Zeno ordered then teleported himself to a river to get more water.
Zatch and Zeno helped Rein get better for a few days, Zatch and Zeno had to outside much to Zeno disappointment.
"Thank you Zatch and thank you Zeno, for helping me in my time of need" Rein said while sitting next to a fire with Zatch and Zeno.
"I'm just glad that you're alright" Zatch said with a smile
"If there is anything I can do for you, anything at all" Rein said getting up.
"Glad you asked, first you never seen us here" Zeno stated. "Second we need new blankets, your blood stained all of ours" Zeno ordered, looking at Rein not intimidated at all.
"I will be glad to" Rein said
"Oh and another thing when you do come back make sure you're not followed: Zeno warned him, and with that last statement Rein left to get the few valuable supplies Zeno only cared about.
"Hey Zeno lets go to the beach" Zatch said
"Sure sounds fun, I'll just teleport us there" Zeno stated, Zatch got all excited. Zeno grabbed his brother then the soft cloth wrapped around them to teleport them to the beach.
"Yeah, Zeno I'm going to go fishing alright" Zatch shouted then jumped into the water with nothing but his boxers.
"Don't drown" Zeno warned him, even though Zatch was a much better swimmer than Zeno.
Zatch kept swimming under water until he found a large fish with a horn on its head; he then began to chase the fish. He finally caught the fish and in intent to escape to escape the fish jumped out of the water.
A girl a few years older than Zatch noticed that he trespassed, but didn't care for she thought that she had fallen in love, her name was Penny. She noticed who the boy was in the missing children photos scattered across the Mamodo world; she knew his name was Zatch Bell.
"Unuu caught it" Zatch shouted with excitement. Zatch struggled to get to shore than he ran to show his brother what he caught.
Penny decided to follow him, when she noticed Zatch was talking to someone she thought she was looking at a double then realized that it must be Zatch's brother Zeno. She kept her distance still in awe in Zatch.
"Zeno, Zeno isn't this big we can share it" Zatch said still holding the fish.
"Alright put it down" Zeno pointed to a spot of grass, Zatch put it down knowing what Zeno would do. "Zaker" Zeno stated then the electric blast fried the fish "there now we can eat".
As Zatch and Zeno were eating the shared fish, Zatch noticed a sand castle made out of glass. "That's cool Zeno when did you make that" Zatch said noticing that the castle was at a slant, probably because of the electric blast it received.
"I got bored and I didn't want some jackass knocking it down so I Zaker it" Zeno said then got up to brush the sand off of him. "Let's go home" Zeno stated then the twins decided to walk home to their hut instead of teleporting.
Penny took her chances and decided to follow the two boys back to their hut.
When the twins arrived to their home Rein was there with the blankets sitting next to the fire. "Rein" Zatch ran over to Rein and gave him a hug. "I caught a huge fish to day and Zeno made this cool castle and" Zatch kept rambling on to Rein who just smiled and listened.
"Well it looks like you two had a great day… Zatch, Zeno I have to go back to my village to make things right I might be gone for a while ok" Rein explained to the boys.
"I hope you have a safe journey" Zatch said waving Rein off goodbye, who decided it was time for him to go.
Night time soon followed and the twins used the new blankets to make a new bed for themselves. Another few days past with the twins going out more often to play with the other kids, Penny would usually follow them and try to get Zatch's attention much to Zeno's dislike, Zatch didn't mind at all until one day.
"Here Zatch this is for you" Penny said holding out a fish
"Unu thank you very much" Zatch said taking the fish, Penny was about to cry.
"Where has that girl gone to" Penny father asked as both mother and father were looking for her. They both spotted her talking to a boy they soon realized who it was, Zatch Bell. They followed Penny who in turn was following Zatch and Zeno back to the woods.
"Zatch I'm getting sick of this, she's always following you like a lost puppy" Zeno stated, then glanced back to see Penny hiding behind a tree.
"She's not that bad she gave me this fish" Zatch said then held out the fish.
"You can be so naïve at times, sure she gave us a dinner but it's still annoying" Zeno stated then glanced back again, Penny quickly dashed behind another tree, this made Zeno want to Zaker her so bad but didn't because Zatch would get upset.
When the twins got to their hut they found 10 royal guards waiting for them.
"Damn it" Zeno grabbed Zatch to teleport then was knock out by a solider from behind.
"How dare you touch him" Zatch went to protect Zeno, then the solider swung at Zatch. "Zakerga" Zatch shouted, his eyes rolled into the back of his head then the electric blast sent the solider flying through a few trees.
Two of the royal guards then jumped on Zatch to tie him down. "You two are coming with us weather you like of not, by the Kings orders" the Royal guard stated.
Zatch struggled but found it useless, there was nothing he could do, and they fell straight into their trap. "Just don't hurt Zeno, he can't fight back" Zatch shouted while in the arms of one of the royal soldiers.
"Our mission is to bring you in alive with the least injuries as possible, we won't hurt either of you" the Royal guard stated then picked Zeno up then the group made their way back to the castle.
